Newly colored hair always looks super shiny and perfect.
Wouldn’t it be great to keep the same intensity of the color without the fading?

Keep reading for a few things you can do and avoid, to help keep your color from fading as quickly.
Use these tips as a guide, don’t try anything on your hair you don’t feel prepared to do. Ask a friend or professional if necessary.

– Don’t shampoo daily. You can condition hair daily but shampoo can be too aggressive and strips color and shine off hair with daily use. Shampoo your hair 2-3 times a week.

– Use a hair treatment appropriate for your hair at least once a week to keep your hair moisturized and soft.

– Reds are the fastest to fade, and hard to remove when trying to go lighter.

– Use hair products that shield your hair when applying blow dryers, flat-irons, curling irons, and such tools. Avoid using them as often.

– Try color boosting shampoo and conditioners. Various drugstores offer different brands as well as salons and beauty supply stores.

– Avoid too much sun or beach/chlorinated water. It will cause faster fading and might stain your hair if it’s blonde.

– Buy a semi-permanent color or a toner that matches your shade at sallys beauty supply and apply just the color without any developer to your hair for 10-15 minutes and rinse with cool water. Applying just the color  will freshen up your shade in between salon visits.
